Transfer Credit

Credit earned at accredited institutions, through military educational experiences, or through documented training, may be accepted as transfer credit at Iḷisaġvik for students admitted to the college. Whenever possible, transfer credit is equated with Iḷisaġvik courses. The following regulations apply to transfer credit:

• Students who have been accepted into a program may request that credits earned at an accredited institution of higher learning be accepted as transfer credit. Students must provide the Registrar’s Office with official transcripts of their previous college credits to start the evaluation process for their transfer credits.
• Undergraduate credits earned at the 100-level or above with a grade of “C” or higher at institutions accredited by one of the six regional accrediting agencies will be considered for transfer. 
• Transfer credit is not included in computing the GPA. 

• An entering transfer student’s class standing is based on the number of credits accepted by IỊisaġvik.

Credits earned more than ten years ago from another institution cannot be transferred to an IỊisaġvik academic transcript without prior permission from the Registrar or Dean of Academic Affairs. Foreign transcript evaluations have a different process that begins with the Registrar’s Office.

Foundational English and math classes completed at other institutions are not considered transferable credits. In the case of 100-level transferable math and English classes completed at other institutions, the Registrar may require applicants to take ACCUPLACER tests to determine their placement level.

Note: These credits do not count toward the residency requirement.

Note: Pass/Fail classes may apply toward the residency requirement. Students are encouraged to confirm such credits with the Registration Office.
